Motel room versus apartment

Help! I need to book accommodation for xmas - not sure which way to go with a 14 month ago.   Will a single room with bathroom be big enough (not much room space), Queen bed and a single or spend a bit more and go for an apartment complete with kitchen, separate living from the bedroom. We won't be in the room alot at all - mainly just to sleep. The motel will heat up food for bubs if needed. It will cost more to go for the apartment ..., need to also get a hire car ...

I would also go with an apartment, its much easier for day sleeps as well

Definitely go for a one bedroom place. Can you get a motel with a kitchenette and a separate bedroom?

I've stayed at quite a few places with DS, and it is nice to be able to put him to bed, and then close the door and watch telly in another room without worrying about the noise.

Either or but if you want him/her to sleep....definitely a separate bedroom....TV attracts kids eyes no matter how much you try to block them

we always go for apartments now...while a hotel would be lovely we will save those for childfree nights away - yeah right!!

if u are in one room the kid just wont sleep!!! and you will need to turn off tv as others have said etc...try one night putting bubs down in lounge with you and see how that goes at home...you will then book an apartment!

we do 2 bedroom ones, altho we did one 1 beddie up north and put portacot in our room then until she was asleep then put it out our door into hall (small apartment) once we went to bed. meant we could talk, watch tv, etc etc...

kitchen just means that you can do brekkie - which helps a LOT esp if u are not rushing out somewhere...or dont want to spend a fortune on brekke somewhere. We normally take cereal and have milk and means we can reheat etc if something happens and we are room bound...as happens with kids onholidays! one night in queenstown we ordered pizza delivered as bubs was grotty and tired - got her dinner in kitchenette done and put her to bed - whcih meant we could not go out....gotta love being a parent at those times!

Have you looked on the holiday homes websites as they are usually a lot cheaper than a apartment run by a motel complex.
We use the holidayhouses and also the holidayhomes websites and haven’t had a bad experience.
Granted we haven't used any of them since becoming parents but cost wise they are GREAT

Motel definitely, we cooked, had heaps of room, & came & went as we wanted. Parking outside. 2 storied place, secure looks. 1 bedroom with spa, & 3 beds in the lounge, that were couches, nice big bathroom....I want to go back
